Chapter 542： Already prepared

Chapter 542 Already prepared

Old Mrs. Li scratched her scalp a few times with a needle, and then said: "She gave a lot of things to the family when they got married. I guess she has already prepared for the other boys to get married, and will not favor one over the other."

“Everyone thinks this girl is greedy for money. In fact, she is greedy and gives more. She is more like a child who spreads money..."

After saying that, she remembered what happened during the day, and quickly took out two flower hairpins and gave them to Sister-in-law Liu and Hui Niang, "This is a reward from the Queen in the palace, a set of twelve. These two are for you."

"No, aunt, this is a reward from the palace, can't it be transferred to us?" Huiniang quickly declined. She was a daughter of an official family and knew some rules.

But Mrs. Li waved her hand and said with a smile: "Just keep it for you, there are not so many rules. Previously in Kyoto, many rules were still observed, but now here, the rules have been relaxed.

"Before, there was little money in the treasury. I heard that the silver rewards given to civil and military officials at the end of the year were all changed into objects. They were all issued from the inner treasury and were marked with the inner treasury. If they were not allowed to be resold and transferred, they were all kept at home. I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death...

“Besides, the jade melons and golden fruits were grown by our village together and presented to the palace. Naturally, the gifts given by the Queen were also given to the whole village.

"Besides, we have enough left over at home. Brocades and other items have been sent to the Marquis Mansion for the embroiderers to help cut clothes. The rest of the fine cloth and the like have been basically distributed to various families in the village. You also have a few pieces. I’ve wrapped it up and will take it with me when I move around.”

Huiniang and Sister-in-law Liu no longer refused, and helped each other put on the hairpins, both smiling happily.

Jiayin gave Shuiling a few words and asked her to stay in the living room, and then she went into the room and then into the space.

The two pots of peonies have almost lost all their leaves, and the flower branches are all withered.

Jiayin simply cut it close to the root, and then plant the flower root directly into the nursery.

The two peony roots began to sprout new buds as soon as they saw it. They quickly grew branches and leaves, and finally the flower buds were opened. When they could no longer bloom, Jiayin dug them out with a shovel, shaking off the black soil.

The reborn Peony was still immersed in the nourishment of spiritual energy, but was suddenly interrupted, and her head was a little dull.

Three little foxes came over. Not only did they show no mercy, they even slapped them twice with their tails.

Jiayin quickly chased away Sanjiu, found a new flowerpot, mixed some black soil from the nursery into the ordinary soil, and finally put the peonies in, watered them some, and left.

Two peonies, with their stunning beauty, were not only unappreciated, but were also thrown under the tree so casually, staring at each other with the little green snake...

On the second day, just as Li Laoer was about to enter the city by carriage, he saw two more pots of peonies, seven or eight jade melons, and a basket of golden fruits in the carriage.

He turned around and looked into the courtyard, and sure enough, his little niece was smiling brightly and waving vigorously at him.

Li Laoer also smiled, waved to his niece a few times and got on the carriage.

We entered the city all the way and arrived at Baiyuan Garden. The four members of the Cao family were very busy.

The business will open tomorrow, and the front and back yards need to be cleaned, and the tables, chairs, and benches need to be wiped down.

Then the potted flowers on display need to be divided into priorities and varieties!

It is necessary to distinguish what is to be sold on-site and what is to be left as a store treasure.

Li Laoer came in with a pot of peonies in each hand, and was about to call Mr. Cao to come forward, but Mr. Cao had sharp eyes and saw his employer first.

He wanted to speak, but soon his eyeballs became stuck to the potted flower and he couldn't pull it out!

"Boss! Where did this peony come from? Oh, oh, why did you water it? You can't water the peonies so frequently!" Boss Cao rushed forward in a few steps, carefully snatched the two pots of flowers, and then put them away quickly In the shadow under the wall.

Xiao Cao also ran over to help, shouting, "Dad, these flowers and leaves need to be pruned. They may bloom tomorrow, and they will definitely burst into bloom!"

"You brat, you don't have to tell me, hurry up and get some scissors! Put these two pots of flowers here first. They must be moved indoors after two hours. They can't be exposed to the sun!" Lao Cao babbled, looking at the two pots of flowers. Like a child.

In just a moment, he had moved the flower pot to three places, trying hard to adjust the angle so that the peonies could receive the sun's afterglow without being directly illuminated.

Li Laoer, the boss, was once again ignored by this family of nymphomaniacs.

However, he was not angry. He walked around the yard and saw that Zheng Feng and Zheng He had trapped the jade melons and golden fruits in the well water, so he went to look for Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen asked for a leave from his boss and handed him a post asking his boss to go to Baiyuan Garden to enjoy the flowers tomorrow.

My boss has heard a few words from Baiyuan Garden a long time ago, and he is also itchy.

After all, the Li family sent a lot of orchids to the academy, as well as cyclamen, a famous flower that appears on the table every five days, and is remembered by flower lovers throughout Kyoto.

At this moment, after receiving the invitation, he agreed wholeheartedly, happily let Mr. Wen leave early, and quickly went fishing.

Mr. Wen and Li Laoer met and visited two famous officials who loved flowers.

No one would dislike this opportunity to have an eye-satisfying experience without spending any money.

So, the two famous officials agreed.

Li Laoer went to Jiulianzhai and bought a few boxes of snacks, saving them for entertaining guests tomorrow.

Logically speaking, good news should not flow to outsiders. There is a snack shop in Jiayin, and Li Laoer should go there to buy snacks.

But Jiayin was very playful, and he didn't run the dim sum shop too seriously even after he got it.

The traditional dim sum made by dim sum shops is really not as good as Jiulian Zhai’s, and the newly launched categories are too novel.

The guests attending the flower viewing party tomorrow are all elderly people, and their taste may not be suitable.

So, I could only give Jiulianzhai a discount. Four boxes of snacks cost ten taels of silver!

However, Jiayin has just robbed the emperor of the recipe for making dim sum. As long as he puts his mind to it and thinks about it carefully, the dim sum shop's business will definitely boom...

That night, both Li Laoer and Mr. Wen stayed in the backyard of Baiyuan Garden.

The four members of the Cao family went to bed early after a tiring day.

Li Laoer took Mr. Wen to drink a lot of tea. Mr. Wen was afraid of being sleepy after leaving and refused to drink any more. Li Laoer smiled and said: "There may be a good show tonight. If you sleep well, you won't be able to see it." ”

Mr. Wen was naturally curious. After blowing out the lamp, the two of them talked in a low voice.

In the middle of the night, Mr. Wen couldn't hold on any longer, so he said, "No, I'm going to sleep."

As a result, before he could finish his words, there was movement outside the courtyard, which shocked Mr. Wen to the point where he sat up.

Li Laoer was not in a hurry. He stood up slowly, put on his long gown and walked out.

Old man Cao and his son were holding the scissors for pruning flowers in their hands. They were standing back to back in the middle of the yard. It was obvious that they wanted to go out, but they didn't dare.

Suddenly seeing their master coming out, they shouted anxiously: "Master, go back quickly, there is a thief!"

Li Laoer waved his hand, and then asked outside the courtyard: "Has anyone been arrested?"

Someone replied: "Don't worry, uncle, we have caught all four of them."

“Bring it in!” Li Laoer ordered.

Old man Cao and his son realized that their boss had already made arrangements, so they boldly went to open the door.

Soon, six guards came in from the door and detained four men in black.
